THE DICTATOR (2012)

Though there’s a lot of cliché,
explicit content & loads of over the top crude and adult humor along with a
plot inspired from Chaplin’s political satire masterpiece, I must confess that
it’s a film which made me laugh out loudly after a long long time. The credit
goes to multiple talented Sacha Baron Cohen who not only played real and fake
double dictators of oppressed Republic
of Wadia but also
co-scripted & produced the film. As said much of the plot runs as kind of whack satire extracted from Chaplin's 'The Great Dictator' or Marx Bros. 'Duck Soup' with points poking fun at the oppressed autocracy of either Saddam or Gaddafi but Baron aimed more
towards entertainment and fun than political satire. What I loved about the film is write
up of some of the hilarious peppy lines… ‘They raped me in a very
unprofessional way.’ Films like these don’t require a kind of review, so the
only thing I like to say is ‘Watch and see how long can you resist your
laughter.

About Me

Born in 1977 and professionally lecturer,I love to explore life in all its intricacies around me. Reading-imagining-thinking, watching/analysing films, listening music are more than passion- obsession and compulsion for me to survive like air, water and food. Only like minded ones can understand some of my lunatic passion while reading this blog.I also love to meet people, hanging out different places, observe people while trying to adjust the struggling identities of being animal and human.
